This type of movie has been done over and over again where a guy abuses his position to serve personal interests. In this case the guy is a TSA agent and lets a bioweapon through security because the bad guys threatened his girlfriend. I mean, the guy puts hundreds of lives in jeopardy. His boss ended up getting killed. Another guy died. All so he could save one person. And the weird thing is that the guy is supposed to be a hero.

There are some good points. There is a lot of action and suspense. And the head of TSA is played by the actor who played "Uncle Daddy" so it was nice to see him again.

But at the end of the movie, Lil Rel is still the coolest TSA agent in the cinematic universe.

This is based on a template. A grizzled, hardened, super tough, seasoned detective gets paired up with a sweet, kind, outgoing partner with less experience. At first they clash and then later they appreciate their differences and learn to admire each other. Who hasn't seen this a hundred times. This plays out exactly as one would expect.

I wasn't familiar with the actors. I didn't think the male could pull it off. He doesn't look tough or grizzled enough. He doesn't pull it off. He plays the character his way, and it works. The female character is supposed to be a rookie, but it's played by a 40+ year old actress who has lines in her face. But she plays the part of the sweet, energetic, optimistic young rookie splendidly. She's very likeable.

But the movie seems more like a cop series on a major network. It doesn't have the feel of a movie, and even at the end some story lines are unresolved intentionally as if they planned on a sequel from the beginning. I'll be looking forward to the sequel. Good show.

I'm not a fan of Russell Crowe. I have managed to avoid most of his movies, but this seemed fun. And I have to tell ya that he was fantastic. He plays a post-middle-aged man who never achieved his financial dreams and was never appreciated by his family. He lost his job, and now his wife dumps him. He's on the edge. He's mad. I grew up around too many men like that. Crowe plays the part to a T! Great acting.

The other actors in the film are not as good as Crowe. And the movie is sadly extremely predictable. After about the first ten minutes you know how it's going to end. But it was fun getting there.

This is the typical Rom Com wedding movie except the wedding itself is just a background story. The main storyline is about the mother of the bride as the title suggests.

Brooke Shields plays the main character, and she is fantastic. I was never a big fan and never saw most of her movie, but in this she was very good. What I respect about her the most is that she has let herself age. Her face looks like an old catcher's mitt, and she has the turkey neck common among women her age. I really respect that she hasn't filled herself with botox and tons of cosmetics to hider her aging.

The movie takes the same path as every other Rom Com. I don't need to explain it. But most of the scenes and romance involve 50 somethings, not young beautiful people. But no surprises.

A particularly pleasant surprise was Linda Martin who plays Brooke Shields's character's friend. She is mid-50s and breathtakingly beautiful. She's petite and energetic. She has the energy of a 25 year old. Such a pleasant character.

This is a movie about two totally toxic people who meet at a wedding and talk all day and into the next day sharing their past romantic failures. The way they treat people is atrocious. I gave a few stars for Lucy Hale. She is an interesting, exciting actress. I hope she realizes that this was a huge mistake.

The male lead is irredeemable. The guy is unattractive and unathletic with bad hair. His legs are unstable. They showed him running in one scene, and it looked as if his knees were going to dislocate. Way back in the day, the leading man was tall dark and handsome. This guy is spindly and wimpy. The movie just doesn't make sense that this guy seems to have women throwing themselves at him. I just can't buy it.

This is your typical tough guy movie. A guy with a haunted past who can beat up 15 armed met with nothing but a pool noodle is asked to come help save a bar from bad guys. He's a loner, but he agrees because he needs the money.

It checks all the boxes for tough guy movies. A rich guy who can hire a bunch of guys. Muscles. Bar fights. A bar in the middle of nowhere that is for some reason always packed with handsome men and pretty women.

The cast: The highlight is the female cast. All the women were likable and perfect for their roles except for the main character's love interest a 40+ year old dude whose love interest played a teenage in a movie just a few years ago. The male cast was not impressive with the exception of The Great Conor McGregor who was extremely muscled up. His first time acting outshone the other veteran male actors.

Worth it just to see McGregor. Hopefully, he'll be in many more projects in the future.

I watched this because Liza is in it even though she has a tiny, insignificant part.

This is a movie about a girl who meets a weird guy. They always make weird people out to be horrible criminals. In this movie she started thinking from the very beginning that the guy might be a murderer. Not so. He was just a guy who happened to be weird and liked a girl.

One of the highlights is that 'stralian actress Geraldine Viswanathan has a part as a buddy. She's a young actress who is on her way. Also the actor who plays the weird guy did a fantastic job. You start feeling sorry for him from the very beginning.

I like weird, quirky, silly RomComs. Please don't tell anyone who knows me. So I watched this. It starts off kind of slow. And it doesn't really have much to do with Karma.

It starts with Aislinn who was a loser in high school but had one friend whom she adored. She struggles to find her footing in adulthood never really having much success in business or love. Then she finds out that the guy her little sister is engaged to is her old high school crush and best friend who she hadn't seen in ten years. Little sister brings her novio to meet the family, and the sparks fly along with the laughter.

Aislinn is a beautiful model. I didn't know who she was. But in the beginning they made her look very plain. She's actually quite breathtaking. But then in one scene she starts rapping along with a song she and her friend liked in high school, Big Boy's Mis Ojos Lloran Por Ti. It just changed the pace of the movie for me right there. I started cheering for her.

Fun movie.

Precious doesn't like Eugenio Derbez. He's arrogant. And who can forget the little Indian girl coming out of the Mexican jungle and rebuking him. But I can't help it. I like every movie that he's in. He's just funny. I saw a movie with Aislinn, and I liked her too.

But this is a take on the age old story line where two totally different people are forced together by circumstances, and they clash at first, but then they eventually come to respect and, truth be told, admire one another.

Derbez plays a Mexican born valet who rides his bike to work and lives with his mom. He works hard. He has a heart of gold. Tears came to my eyes as I recalled the many people I know who work hard for little money. But somehow a turn of events puts him with a blond starlet, and the laughs just keep coming. It's a funny movie. Eugenio Derbez is a funny guy. I saw it I think last year. I'll put that on my list to see again.

You know how they reuse the same story line over and over again. The super spy who can beat up 15 armed men with nothing but a pool noodle. The RomCom where they accidentally meet, some sparks fly, then a disagreement separates them but in the end they get back together? There are so many storylines that are so played.

This is original. Two teenagers fall in love. Then one goes on a intergalactic voyage. She comes back and everyone has aged 20 years but she hasn't aged a day. Then she finds her old flame, now close to 40, and they rekindle their romance.

Ok, it's pretty stupid. I agree. Bring back the guy with the pool noodle. One star for originality. Six stars for Brianna Hildebrand. She is a talented actress, and I'm looking forward to seeing her work for many years to come.

I used to say that I'd see any movie with Bella Thorne in it. She's cool. She's a good actress. And she plays interesting roles. In this movie she plays and extremely ordinary overdone character.

It's supposed to be a high school romance. I think they're in high school. You never see them going to any classes, but they talk about getting into college. Bella is dating one guy, and yet another guy captures her attention. You know it's going to end with one of them holding hands as they walk into the sunset. But which guy will she be with?

She has an accident an is in a coma. When she awakes she has forgotten some events including a key outing with one of the young men. Will she remember?

I will never watch a Bella Thorne movie again just because Bella is in it. From this day forward I will check to see what the movie is about, read the reviews and carefully consider whether I should watch it.

This is a horrible film. It's a horrible story line, and it portrays otherwise honorable marines as murderers and law breakers.

It's about a group of young men in the reserves. They're called to duty. Before their departure one guy gets in a fight, the other guy hits his head and dies. So he's convicted of manslaughter and sent to the slammer. Meanwhile the other guys go to Iraq where one of them callously murders a civilian. Sticks his weapon right in the man's face and pulls the trigger.

Then after their tour, the guy in prison is not happy in prison so they devise a plan to break him out risking their own lives and risking being imprisoned themselves. And this is all portrayed as a good thing.

I watched this because I like Jai Courtney. I give an extra star for him.

This story is like Mean Girls whereby a group of popular girls bully other girls but with a Jordanian flavor. After they beat a girl unconscious, she devises a plan for revenge. She gets a couple of friends to go help her with her plan.

One thing that is interesting is the attitudes towards women and girls. One girl is beaten up by her father, and no one raises any concern or objection. Oh, your dad punched you in the face. Teachers see a girl with obvious facial bruises and act as if nothing happened. Then one girl is harassed by an old man, and the teacher scolds the girl as if it's her fault for walking around showing all that skin.

The girls gossip and talk about Zac Efron. One girl has a bedroom that is like entirely pink. You start to feel like it's almost a western society, and then the crazy comes. The final revenge is unbelievably intense so shocking so insane.

I was a McEnroe fan. I even shaved with Bic. A lot of the tennis action in this movie is just as exciting as when it happened, and the acting is outstanding. The young man who plays Mc did a fantastic job with the behavior as well as the accent, and he really put a soul into the spoiled brat that Mc was seen as.

I enjoyed seeing a little of the behind the scenes stories. That was an intense rivalry.

I saw Laura Kariuki in Black Lightning so I googled her to see if she was in anything else. She plays the big sister in this show which isn't a huge part, but she's so pretty.

Anyway, the show is what it is, a copy of the lame Wonder Years from decades ago. But the cast are all so lovable. The mom is a wonderful woman. Every boy and girl should have a mom like her. And the dad is the coolest mo fo who has ever played a dad in a show. These are all likable characters. You'd like to have them as neighbors.

So I watch.

This movie has been done over and over again. A group of people get lost or go into the woods or some other unfamiliar place and start disappearing or getting killed. They try to get out with their lives. They don't know what mysterious thing or force is chasing them, but it's certain that they're being chased for absolutely no reason at all.

Will they survive? You have to watch to find out.

I watched this because of Erin O'Brien. I have a schoolboy crush on her.

This is your typical crime solving show. They try to put a twist on it in that the main character has the ability to recall past events vividly and reliably like she's watching a movie. At the end of each episode her strange ability manages to identify the bad guy. Yawn

But whether you like a show depends on whether you like the characters. I don't like her. She's arrogant. She has a partner with whom she converses, but she talks down to everyone else. Even the production is arrogant. After the first season they just sacked all the non-main characters. Those were actually the more likable characters, but the producers evidently just considered them expendable and sacked them. That I don't care for.

This movie has been done so many times. It's about a young woman who takes a wrong turn, and she is in a place with which she is not familiar, and some bad guys come and harass her, but she gets away, and the bad guys chase her and want to kill her for no apparent reason at all.

Does she get away? You'll have to watch the movie to find out. But I wouldn't waste the time.

This show is based on at least two easily identifiable formulas. First, it's based on an attractive girl who is going through an emotionally tough time whether it be bullies or shyness; in this case she's still grieving the untimely passing of her mother. She has a supportive father and a best friend. At some time she has a spat with said best friend. Then she overcomes whatever is oppressing her to gain her confidence back.

Another formula is with some of the songs. A lot of very popular songs start off with just one soft voice and a piano, and then it gains momentum and instruments and rises and rises until the singer is belting out an epic anthem.

But it's a likable cast, and the musical performances are top notch professional. I mean, they really went all out to have the best music possible with great dancers as well as great musicians and singers. The highlight has to be Cheyenne Jackson who has been in some kid shows before. He was fantastic as the antagonist, a great singer with charisma.

This is a typical storyline. You have someone who is going through a tough time because of bad luck or bad decisions or both. They try to lift themselves up but fail. Then they get inspired, overcome an antagonist, get their life back on track and then even get the girl (or guy) at the end. This storyline is so played.

In addition the actress playing the main character has no lips and bad skin. There are thousands of actresses who would have been better including many who had smaller roles in this very same movie.

But at the end of the day it's entertaining. Isn't that what it's all about? It also has Bella Thorne as the antagonist mean girl who seems to be making a career by playing antagonist mean girls, but I'm so glad she does because she's fantastic.
